ZOE is LIFE!*

ZOE Children’s Homes is an international not-for-profit organization that cares for orphans and rescues children who are sold－or at risk of being sold－into prostitution slavery, or are victims of other heinous crimes and abuse worldwide.

We exist to combat the awful trafficking of children globally, especially in the sex trade, and provide shelters and loving homes to orphans and children who have been abused or who are at-risk of any crime against them. In our homes, the children are raised to participate in the highest quality academics and are provided with excellent health and nutrition. Most importantly, they are loved unconditionally by the highly trained staff and volunteers. We accept children of all ages. Additionally, we provide scholarships and housing for our ZOE children pursuing higher education.

Prayer Partners

The Boyer Ohana covets your prayers! We would also like to pray for you! We'll list our prayer requests here and if you would like us to pray for you, please send your requests to Boyers Pray. We will keep your requests totally confidential: just between us and the Lord!

Our Prayer Requests:

* Please pray for our ZOE Child Rescue Team. They are doing a tremendous job investigating and rescuing children but it can be very difficult and dangerous. Pray that God would lead them to the children are and that He would confuse the enemy.

* That the children who come to ZOE are surrounded by God's love as well as the love of the ZOE parents, staff, missionaries, and, most importantly, the other ZOE kids so that their lives would be transformed and they would be healed of the hurts they have endured.

* That Ron and Cissy will do everything at ZOE with excellence, including teaching the students English, business, and Bible!

* That Drake will do well at Wheaton College and that Elli will prosper at Grace International School and that both would have the heart of a servant.

* That Cissy will heal rapidly from her ACL and knee reconstruction surgery.

Our Praise Reports!

* The pace of children being rescued and brought to ZOE Children's Homes is increasing rapidly. God is moving in this area!

* We have been in Thailand for two years and God has met our every need through friends and family who have been obedient to His voice on our behalf!

* Drake made the Wheaton volleyball team and Elli was accepted to practice with the best Thai girl's high school volleyball team in Chiang Mai!

Financial Partners

As ZOE missionaries, we are required to raise our own support in order to serve on the mission field. We are so very grateful for all who partner with us to enable us to heed God’s call on our lives. Your prayers and financial support make you our partner in the work that ZOE is doing to rescue children from human trafficking.

“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? (Romans 10:13-15)
